Is the best tea in Canada, and
I KNOW
that a great many people who drink it say it
is the best tea they ever used,
It is however easy to make statements
clic ut what we believe. I think it is better to
give definite, positive reasons why an article
is believed to be the best, and if any article
has real merit, it should be easy to ,give
convincing reasons.
This is just what I propose to do. In the
successive issues of this paper I will publish a
number of facts and reasons why I believe Red
Rose Tea is the best tea in Canada, and why
you should, use it,
The reasons will be interesting and
educative about tea—well worth reading.
Before you read many, I think you will
want to try the tea and if you buy a pound,
the tea itself will do the rest.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM MR. W. J. GAGE.
Tonoero, Can., Dec. 1, 1904.
DEAlr. FRIEND,
We again come to you with our story of
•trouble, but a btory of surprising and en-
couraging results. .
No apology is necessary ; the great work
of the National Sanitarium Association,
warded on at the Muskoka Cottage Sana-
torium and Free Hospital for Consump-
tives, is now well known.
Tho 1,500 patients cared for in those two
Homes plead. for your help.
The large number of lives saved, of those
who a few years ago were supposed to be
"under sentence of death," gives a right
,to your sympathy.
In helping to rescue a number great
.Enough to constitute a large prosperous
village, the giving back to home and friends
a regiment of workers, surely will arouse
interest in this work of mercy,
Each patient eared for in our Consump-
tive Homos, removes a source of 'danger,
to that the life of every citizen in Canada
is more secure. -
The marvellous decrease of 40 per cent.
in three years in the death -rate in Ontario
from consumption proves that the fight
against this dread disease is no losing one.
Tho Muskoka Free Hospital for
11 Consumptives, for which this appeal is
made, 'without any endowment keeps an
open door to all who aro poor and sick, as
long as a vacant bed remains.
Nearly 400 patients have been cared for
in this Hospital since it was opened less
than three years ago. This has only been
possible because of the continuous stream
of gifts that have come to us from every
part of Canada. '
Remember, too, these were patients that
pother hospitals as a rule refuse.
Almost every trade and profession has
trent its representative, and of every age—
Irma the young schoolboy of 1M to the
!Widowed mother of 60.
$'26,000 was received lash year by 'the
Trustees of the Free Hospital for Com
suniptives through contributions and be
quests.
$50,000 should be given this year if the
Board is to provide for the increased ac-
commodation and maintenance of those
pleading for admission.
Where will your money do so much good
in bringing health to the sick and protect-
ing the lives of those in your home ?
Why should consumption not be stamped
out if the needful money and help be fortle
coming ?
The official Report of the Secretary of
the Provincial Board of Health tells a
surprising Story—a story of a winning
fightAsliowing that froin 1897 up to 1900
there was a steady increase in the
death -rate from Tuberculosis.
From 1900 there has been a large de-
crease each year, reducing the death -
rate from 3,484 to 2,072 in three years, or
over 40 per cent. This is all the
more remarkable in view of the increase in
population.
You have the joy of knowing that your
dollar has helped in this merciful work.
The pitiful part of ib all is in knowing
how many more lives could have been saved
if the needful money had been forthcom-
ing to provide additional beds.
° Will you not join in this great life.saving
work ?
Your dollar will bring gladness.
Fifty dollars will keep a siek one far two
Months ; may save a life. Three hundred
dollars will endow a bed for a year.
Yours sincerely
THE WINGHAN 7:IMES, JECEI B ER 29, i904

Origin of Some Nantes.
Many religious sects are now known
by what were originally nicknames.
These epithets, coined in derision, have
"appreciated" and grown into honora-
ble epithets. "Methodism" was a
nickname originally, an undergraduate
nickname, applied to Wesley and his
friends because they lived by rule and
method, Every one knows what it is
now. So people use the word "Quaker"
without any contemptuous connotation,
and even a word like "ranter" was on
the way toward respr stability when
ranting seemed to fall out of fashion.
The Foolish who:Fall.
[S. E. Kiser.]
Some men who we envy to -day . !a'+"
By tomorrow may fall, through some
blunder,
And we in our wisdom will wonder
Why he threw his fair chances away:
We will wag our head wisely and say
The things that are always repeated
When they that tempt fate are defeated
And brought to disgrace and dismay.
Each day some new tragedy brings,
The frailties of men are unending;
The dupes and the rogues keep descend-
ing,
.And we have our sneers and our flings;
Ever ready with stones at our slings
'"E°0 hurl at the ones we are cheering;
Ire turn from applauding to jeering
en the honored one's honor takes
wings.
We, being unnoticed and small,
Sit back in our corners and wonder;
We hear of the people who b.Iender,
Who, having soared proudly, must crawl
And we can't understand them at all.
We scof and have lio inclination
To ask if beneath their temptation
Even we might not foolishly fall.

A TN CORY PROVED.
A New Idea trl,ieh means a great deal in
the Treatment and Core of Disease.
Dr. Lecnhardt, of Lincoln, Neb., the
foremost phi sioian of the W eetern States
has put forward a new theory as to the
cause of disease. He says:
"There can be no doubt, from the
evidence at hand, that the stomach. is
and bus always been the first cause of
ninty per cent. of all the illness of
mankind. The failure of the stt mach
to digest the food properly results in
fermentation and decomposition, and
the poisons arising from the foul at d
rotting mass get into the blood and tissue
and nerves and breed disease of every
kind."
Dr. Leonhardt, has found a remedy
for Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Billionsness
and Constipation. He has tried it in
thousands of oases without a single fail-
ure.
He calls it Anti -Pill. It is sold at 50e.
by all druggists, or the Wilson -Fyfe Uo .
Limited, Niagara Falls, Ont, Sole agents
for Canada.
The financial statement issued by the
Hullett township treasurer, for the cur-
rent year, shows that the receipts for the
last year, including a balance on hand
of $140 were $20531.09. The total expen-
diture was $18573.11. The assets and
liabilities are as follows:—Balance on
hand, $957 02; in bank, $1000; uncollect-
ed taxes, $468.60; other municipalities,
$250. Liabilities—L. improvement de.

THE DHANNIEL ISLANDS.
Jersey. Oueresry, *5ar1 and Norm Are
Vomit itutlonet urho Ities--Strarge
r.aws Whleh Prevail 'there.
In view of the feeling aroused in
the Channel Islands by the announce-
ment of the intention of the Govern-
ment to withdraw the British garri-
son thence, a great deal more is
likely to be heard of the question in
this country before long. The con-
stitutional position •of the islands in
the Empire a curiosity. "Every
schoolboy kt;s" that they are the
sole remnant of the Norman posses-
sions of the Norman dynasty of
1066. But their relation to Parlia-
ment is peculiar. As a platter of fact,
Parliament legislates for them, when.
it thinks fit, which is not often, and
in the Interpretation Act of 1889
Parliament ordained that the expres-
sion "British Islands" should in-
clude, as a general rule, the Channel
Islands,
But the islanders maintain their
territory never did belong to the
Xing of England, as King of Eng-
land, but as Duke of Normandy, and
that Parliament has not more right
to legislate for them than it had to
legislate for Hanover in the reigns of
the Georges (Sir William Anson,
"The Constitution.") What happens,
in fact, is that when a statute af-
fects the islands, the Crown in Coun-
cil transmits it through the Horne
Secretary—for they are not "Cdl'en-
ies"—to the Lieutenant -Governors for
registration by the Royal Court.
This satisfies the theory of the isl-
anders that they are hound by the
act of the Crown and not of Parlia-
ment. The basis of 1 he 1oca3 law is
the old Norman law..
In Jersey the Yoyal Court till
1771 was—what politi%al philosoph-
ers have always abhorred—at once a
legislative ,and a judicial body. It is
now only the judicature. It consists
of the baltic appointed by the Crown,
and twelve "jurats"—that is, sworn
men, who aro elected fur life by the
whole of the ratepayers in Jersey.
The whole of the judicial work as
done by different distributions of the
jurats in number—namely, as Courts
of First Instance or of Appeal, but
always with the bailiff presiding, and
there is a final appeal to the Crown
in Council. "The constitution of the
court," quietly observes Sir William
Anson, "is not calculated to further
the ends of justice." This is probably
the only tribunal in the whole Em-
pire of which a dispassionate tech-
nical writer could make this observa-
tion. "The jurats, who act as judges,
are elected for legislative as well as
judicial purposes. They are not paid,
and no security is taken that they
should possess any legal training.
The bailiff, who is appointed by the
Crown, who is always a qualified
lawyer, and whose income from di-
rect payment and fees amounts to
about £750, is not allowed to ex-
press an opinion, unless the jurats
are equally divided. Change has con-
stantly been desired and expected in
the constitution of these courts, but
no change would seem to have been
effected."
The state of things in the judiciary
of Guernsey and Alderney seems to
be much the same, and, according to
the same authority, equally unsatis-
factory. Each of the islands has its
law officers (of the Crown) and a
staff of executive officials, and Alder-
ney apparently appeals to Guernsey.
"Sark has a court which exercises
limited criminal jurisdiction. The
tiny island of Herm"—surely Sark
and Herm correspond in our Empire
to Andorra or Ban Marino—"once at-
tempted to assert its independence
of Guernsey, but the attempt was
not successful." ("Encyclopaedia of
Laws.") The Legislature in .Jersey
has been since 1771 "the states,"
i.e., the Royal Court plus the twelve
parsons (rectors) and the twelve con-
stables of the twelve parishes. The
constables are elected by parisioners
(principeaux) possessing property of
the annual value of from 2,160 to
£400. here, too, the bailiff presides.
The relations between this body and
the Privy Council have been much
discussed with much antiquarian lore.
The present position is thus summed
up by Sir W. Anson (ubi supra):
"The Crown can by Order -in -Council
extend to the islands the operations
of statutes in which the islands are
not named, or may legislate inde-
pendently of statute, by Order -m-
Council. In such cases the order
most be registered by the Royal
Court, and it is accepted custom
that the order to register should be
addressed to the States, that they
may have an opportunity of address-
ing the Crown on the subject of the
proposed legislation." This they have
often done successfully: they are not
heard by the judicial committee, but
by a special one for the islands.
The States may themselves, and
do, initiate legislation, subject to
the approval of the Crown in Coun-
cil, and they may, even without this
consent, make enactments which are
valid for three years, unless the
Crown vetoes. The powers of the
Guernsey Legislattu•e arc also very
limited.
Lord Basil Blackwood.
Lord Basil Blackwood, who has
been home on holiday for the last
six months, is now on the Atlantic
on :his way back to Bloemfontein to
resturio his place as Assistant Colon -
ltd Secretary of the Orange River
Colony. Lord 7iusil went out to
South Africa early in the war as a
Deputy' Judge -Advocate, and after
the general settlement was given a
place in the Colonial Secretary's of-
fice in the new Orange Colony. His
elder brother, Lord Ava, who would
now have been Marquis of Bufferin
had ho lived, lost his life, it will bo
remembered, during the siege of
Ladysmith in one of the sorties by
the garrison against the Boers.
Outflanked.
Frederick the Great, the fatuous
commander, sent to Dresden for Dr.,
Baylies, an English physician, to in-
troduce inoculation into his domin-
ions, . When the doctor arrived in
Berlin the King did not forget to
ask his favorite question:
"Well, doctor, how many have you
despatched to the other world?" -
"Not so many as you, sir," War

A WARN( IG NOTE
PROS THB BACK.
Peofile often say, "Now are we '
to know when the kidneys ars out ,
of order $" The location of the
kidneys, close to the small of the '
back, renders the detection of ,
kidney trouble a simple matter..
The note of warning comes from '
the back, in the shape of backache.
Don't neglect to cure it imme-
diately, Serious kidney trouble will °
follow if you do. A few doses of ,
DOA''S KIDNEY PILLS,
taken in time, often save years of
suffering. Mr. Horatio Till, Geary,
N,B., writes ;—" I suffered for ,
about two years with kidney dis-
ease. Had pains in my back, hips
and legs ; could not aleep well, 0
and had no appetite. I took one
box of Doan'a Kidney Pills, and '1
they cured me. The pains have all w
left, and I now sleep well.

Severe Cold on the Chest
"My fourteen year old boy had a very
severe cold in the chest last winter and
I really thought he was gmng to die.
He coughed nearly all the time and
sometimes he would spit up blood. I
can positively say that he was'completely
cured by two bottles of Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine, and
:due has not been troubled since."—Mrs.
J. Provost, Renfrew, Ont.
Another of the pioneers of Huron
enunty passed away on Monday night,
Dec. 19th, when Mr. Thomas Austin of
Hullett, just south of Blyth, passed
away at the age of 76 years. The de-
ceased sustained at paralytic stoke about
a week ago and since has been in a coma-
tose state up to the time of his death. He
was a man much repected and leaves a
widow and grown up family of sons and
daughters who have the sympathy of all
in there bereavement.
She was from the country, and she
went into one of Mildmay's leading
stores and asked to look at some stock-
ings. "What number, ma'am?" inquir-
ed the polite clerk. "What number?
Young man, ain't you ashamed of your-
self to ask such a question? Do you
suppose jest 'cause I live in the country
that I go scootin' around with one stock-
ing?" Then the clerk managed to make
her understand that be wanted to know
the size of the stockings she required,
and she said she guessed about 11 inches
would do for the foot, as to the rest it
didn't matter much.
